Please note that I am unable to accept new clients at this time. I've been providing creative, collaborative, practical counseling for adults and adolescents, with a down to earth, compassionate approach, for 22 years. Focusing on the wisdom within body, mind and spirit, I support people to think, feel and act creatively, find balance, and honor their natural strengths. I integrate dance/movement therapy, drama therapy, expressive arts and Yoga in my work. Areas of focus include life transitions, LGBTQ concerns, women's issues, social justice focus, and spirituality.

Are you stuck? feeling like no matter how hard you try nothing changes or you don't feel any better? Nearly everyone goes through a time in their life when this happens. It could be due to relationship problems or happen after a divorce, the death of a loved one or a traumatic event. Or it could be due to general mental health issues like anxiety or depression. Whatever it may be that is currently keeping you from enjoying your life or being the best version of you, now is the time to start moving again and begin the process of change.

Dr. Edwards specializes in individual psychotherapy with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems, adjustment concerns, and many other psychological and/or behavioral problems. Although he tailors his therapeutic approach to each unique client and their circumstances, he often utilizes mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, brief dynamic relational therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and motivational interviewing to help his patients develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their experience.

Accepting new clients April 1, 2024. Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do you need to make time for yourself? Do you need someone to talk to? Therapy is most helpful when done in an accepting and collaborative way. I work with you to assist you in attaining personal goals, exploring growth, and achieving emotional well-being. I understand that every individual is unique and I approach treatment with this in mind. I know that each client enters therapy with specific strengths and I do my best to help you pull from those strengths. My approach to therapy can be described as compassionate, active, warm, and gently challenging.

I have worked as a personal counselor since 1986 and as a licensed clinical social worker since 2004. I am a solution-focused therapist who listens deeply to my clients, then engages each in a true two-way conversation. Whether I'm seeing adults, older adolescents, or couples, I treat my clients respectfully. We focus on the issue at hand, work to understand the history and causes behind it, then together implement steps to bring change quickly. Most clients see me for six to eight weekly sessions, moving to less and less frequent sessions as their confidence and life satisfaction increases. I look forward to working with you.

As your counselor I want to provide the space for us to work together in identifying the root of your struggles, worries, and fears. I believe that the therapist-client relationship is a mutually exclusive relationship; where you are free to open up and explore reasons for change, and I am there to offer insight and impartial support. Whether change evokes a better version of yourself, or whether change creates a new path you are willing to explore, I want to be the person that helps you create that confidence to get there.

My clients want to uncover the hidden version of their best self by confronting the traumas, anxieties, hardships and expectations in their lives. They are ready to build confidence and self-compassion, engage in self-care, set boundaries, improve their relationships, and put their needs first. I work with individuals who have endured traumas or struggle to engage in self-expression (including gender and sexual identity), and are ready to create positive changes, to increase their satisfaction in life and confidently navigate the world around them. They are ready for self-empowerment and to understand and accept themselves.

Are you struggling with feelings of anxiety? Are you unhappy in your relationship? Are you experiencing a stressful life transition? Do you want to lead a more fulfilling and joyful life but just can't seem to get there? If you would like to achieve mastery over your emotions, be supported through a difficult time, have more meaningful relationships, or just experience life in a more positive and fulfilling way, then I can help you. I will work with you to give you the skills you need to reach your goals.

If you find yourself on PyschologyToday because you are feeling frustrated with a particular area of your life, are unhappy in your relationships or career, or are feeling down or anxious about things you can't control, perhaps it's time to talk. Using a strength-based approach, I will work with you to identify what is in the way of feeling your best, and help you get to where you want to be. We will address obstacles as a team, talking through the tough times, and we will figure out how to make the next obstacles more manageable.

Please note that I am currently accepting new clients! Are you facing a stressful life transition, feeling a lack of purpose, or having difficulty making yourself a priority in your life? Perhaps you are feeling depressed or anxious...or trying to process a trauma you have experienced? Or maybe you are struggling with a marital or relationship issue, wondering about whether or how to navigate the delicate process of ending a long-term relationship and moving forward? As you contemplate the path ahead and consider your needs, I encourage you to reach out and take the first step forward.

Life can be challenging! We all need help sometimes but it can be hard to ask for help. I want to make it easy. I’ve been a counselor for over thirty years and have helped people with many of the issues we all face at one time or another. I am not judgmental because I feel that we have more in common than what seems to separate us. I believe the most important aspect of a counseling relationship is to establish a safe space where we can connect and I can truly listen to understand your concerns and goals. From there we can sort out the issues and come up with a plan to help you get on track with living the life you want.

Life can get complicated. Seeking guidance to contend with life's complications requires bravery, vulnerability, and perseverance - though, it can be a game changer. As a practitioner, I work best with those who struggle to maintain healthy & satisfying relationships with themselves and others, yet are driven to understand why.

I am a down to earth, intuitive therapist and provide counseling in a safe, practical and non-judgmental manner. I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to each person's specific needs and goals. I truly believe in a person's ability to heal and recover and enjoy working collaboratively to meet people where they are at in their own process of change.
